Abstract

The influence of polyacrlic acid (PAA) adsorption on fumed silica (SiO2) surface on suspension stabi­lity has been studied. Сhanges in the suspension stability were monitored using a Turbiscan LabExpert with a TLAb Cooler cooling module at 25oC. PAA is an anionic polymer containing carboxyl groups; therefore all the measurements were carried out at different pH 3, 6 and 9. Analysis of obtained transmission and backscattering curves and Turbiscan Stability Indexes (TSI) allowed determination of the most probable mechanism of the system stability.
